International coffee prices fluctuate strongly
In the international market, coffee prices continue to have complicated developments.

Compared to a month ago (September 22), Robusta prices on the London exchange decreased from a peak of 5,821 USD/ton (according to a major newspaper), down about 1,129 USD/ton. Arabica prices also fell sharply from 9,680 USD/ton to 349.10 USD/ton, equivalent to a decrease of 6,122 USD/ton.
This decline reflects increased supply and investors' cautious sentiment in the face of global economic factors.
Coffee market assessment
Domestic coffee prices fell sharply due to pressure from abundant international supply and prices on London and New York exchanges fell. The global market is affected by increased supply in major producing countries and macroeconomic fluctuations.
Growers need to closely monitor price developments to choose a reasonable time to sell, while noting transportation costs when fuel prices are still high. In the short term, coffee prices may continue to be under pressure if global supply does not have any sudden changes.
